There's a shocking imbalance between Bradford and Leeds regarding Art Council funding. Something like £80 per head in Leeds compared to £10 per head in Bradford, shameful, and of course we have a guy in overall charge of the Science museums who wants to close the Media Museum in Bradford, who shows absolutely no commitment to that excellent facility. Hopefully the six organisations that actually get some Art Council money in Bradford will continue to do so. Bradford has a rich history in producing in the arts and it really would be quite shocking if the little given to this great city was cut.
